To help yourself feel free to annotate the passage. Notice as this passage is sourced from an online journal there are no page numbers; name of the author is not provided. The number of foreign students in Canada continues to grow rapidly. In 2013 there were 293500 international students in Canada up 50% in the last five years. The benefits of increased numbers of international students are clear: apart from contributing billions of dollars to the Canadian economy international students bring a diverse set of experiences to the Canadian campus and community. This creates a high degree of exchange of ideas among different groups of people has the potential to improve scholarship and foster a culture of global understanding and forms an integral part of internationalization. In the past two decades Canada’s post-secondary education institutions have become increasingly aware of the advantages of internationalizing their communities of learning. Indeed the exponential growth of international students studying and graduating at Canadian institutions reflects both a catalyst for internationalization as well as an outcome of efforts to achieve it. Yet emerging research indicates that one of the strategic advantages of an internationalized campus — the formation of social bonds between international students and their Canadian counterparts — has been unsuccessful. In CBIE’s 2014 survey of more than 3000 post-secondary international students at 25 universities and colleges across Canada 56% of respondents reported having no Canadian students as friends. Even those international students who plan to stay on in Canada after studying are no more likely to have Canadian friends — only 46% of them do. In addition 36.6% indicated that it is difficult to get to know Canadian students. This follows similar results from CBIE’s 2013 International Student Survey. Recent statements on ethical internationalization emphasize the importance of international student integration. CBIE’s Code of Ethical Practice details the importance of “Promoting the interests of international students in the institutional community and providing meaningful opportunities for interaction that promotes intercultural and mutual understanding between international students and other members of the institutional community and to the extent possible the surrounding community” (CBIE 2013). The International Student Mobility Charter developed by CBIE and several sister associations and adopted by the European Association for International Education (EAIE) states that: “When admitted to an education institution international students are automatically also admitted to a country a new community and its different culture. International students’ integration and interaction with the academic as well as the wider community needs to be actively facilitated to maximize the value for all stakeholders” (EAIE 2012).

Title: Perspectives on Cultural Integration of Immigrants Authors: Yann Algan Alberto Bisin and Thierry Verdier Journal: Oxford Scholarship Online Date of Publication: January 2013. Introduction The concepts of cultural diversity and cultural identity are at the forefront of the political debate in many western societies. In Europe the discussion is stimulated by the political pressures associated with immigration flows which are increasing in many European countries. Dealing with the ethnic and cultural heterogeneity associated to such trends is one of the most important challenges that European societies will face. The debate on the perceived costs and benefits of cultural diversity is already intense. This is well illustrated for instance in France where discussions about the wearing of the Islamic veil and the burqa stimulated in turn a public debate on national identity. Similarly the recent vote in Switzerland against the construction of Muslim mosques clearly shows how heated and emotional arguments on ethnic and religious identity have recently become. Sociologists have been studying the cultural integration patterns of immigrants at least since the late nineteenth century especially in the context of immigration into the United States. Economists have instead been traditionally mainly interested in assessing the direct impact of immigration flows on market outcomes (especially on the labour market) or on fiscal transfers and public goods provision. The basic question of assimilation for economists has then been framed in terms of economic assimilation namely in terms of the dynamics of immigrants’ earnings and socio-economic positions relatively to natives. Recently however economists have been recognizing that beyond interactions directly mediated through markets prices and incomes other non-market social and cultural interactions could also be important determinants of the socio-economic integration of immigrants. Specific patterns of cultural attitudes of immigrant groups can significantly affect their labour market performances for instance. The common social phenomenon of ‘oppositional’ identities by which certain minority individuals actively reject the dominant majority behavioural norms can produce significant economic and social conflicts as well as adverse labour-market outcomes. More generally social scientists have dedicated a lot of attention to the fact that immigrants’ integration patterns can significantly alter the design and the political economy of public policies in the host society. An example of this issue concerns the sustainability of welfare state institutions in the context of multicultural societies. Cultural diversity may indeed affect the sense of community and social solidarity which constitute founding pillars of democratic welfare state systems. This could lead to the erosion of the social consensus for redistribution and diminish the political support for universal social programmes. Public policies aimed at correcting for horizontal inequalities across cultural groups might end up substituting for vertical redistribution across social classes. For these reasons several observers favour explicit public policies promoting or even requesting the cultural assimilation of immigrants to the cultural attitudes of natives. Other observers however argue that welfare state institutions should be designed to accommodate cultural diversity. These policies would facilitate contacts across communities promote tolerance trust and respect towards other groups and in the end would help develop new national identities. In either case the study of cultural and socio-economic integration patterns of immigrants seems of paramount importance as such patterns determine how the expression of cultural differences is translated into individual behaviour and public policy. The imperatives that current immigration trends impose on European democracies bring to light a number of issues that need to be addressed. What are the patterns and dynamics of cultural integration? How do they differ across immigrants of different ethnic groups and religious faiths? How do they differ across host societies? What are the implications and consequences for market outcomes and public policy? Which kind of institutional contexts are more or less likely to accommodate the cultural integration of immigrants? All these questions are crucial for policy makers and await answers. In this context the purpose of this book is to provide a modest but nevertheless essential contribution as a stepping stone to the debate. Taking an economic perspective the collection of essays in this book presents the first descriptive and comparative picture of the process of cultural integration of immigrants in Europe as it is taking place. We provide in the country chapters a detailed description of the cultural and economic integration process in seven main European countries and in the United States. The European countries include France Germany Italy Spain Sweden Switzerland and United Kingdom. We then provide in the conclusion of the book a cross-country comparison of the integration process using a unified database the European Social Survey. The conclusion concentrates on the interplay between the cultural and economic integration process across European countries and discusses how those various dimensions of integration correlate with specific national policies aimed at immigrants’ integration. In this first chapter building on the recent economics of cultural transmission we introduce the main conceptual issues which are of relevance to the study of the cultural integration patterns of immigrants and of their interaction with market and non-market outcomes. More specifically this chapter is organized as follows. In Section 1.2 we discuss briefly the different theories of cultural integration developed in the social sciences. In Section 1.3 we introduce in more detail the economic approach to the study of cultural integration. In Section 1.4 we provide a short overview of the main conceptual issues associated with measuring cultural integration processes. In Section 1.5 we discuss cultural integration in terms of its socio-economic impact on host countries. Finally in Section 1.6 we conclude with a brief overview of the subsequent chapters included in this book.
